Actors feast on bizarre foods

A Toronto-based chef has now created brain fritters and chocolate blood ice cream. And guess what? Mumbai folk have eaten bizarre foods too
Cried over raw onions before? Well, if you're food-squeamish, you're sure to have your tears flowing over this fare. In the effort to not throw away any of the animal she uses - a Australian-born chef and food stylistJennifer McLagan has dished up brain fritters and chocolate blood ice cream among other items - odds and ends that are would otherwise be discarded.
In her book, one recipe explains how to shave the tiny hairs off a pig's head before immersing it in brine with its cut-off ear and foot. She's not the only one to do so. Globetrotting chefAnthony Bourdain is known to regularly devour a cobra's heart and sea urchins during his journeys. Indian foodies get chatting on their own offbeat taste for the abstract
Actor Chunky Pandaysays he's had "many weird dishes" while travelling around the world. "These include grasshoppers and various other insects," he grins. "Once while in China, I ate a dish which I thought was chicken meat but it turned out to be snake meat, and then I was told that it was chicken without legs (laughs). Also during a trip in Korea I almost ate dog meat, but was saved from the disaster,"
Actress Sushma Reddyalso recalls her palate adventure. "The most odd dish I have eaten was in Chinatown, LA. It was pig's ear cartilage. It did not taste horrible or anything, it just made me feel ill thinking about it," she says.
For actress Shazahn Padamsee, the weirdest dish she ate was while she was inCanada. "It was called Seal Flipper Pie," she says, adding, "It's a traditional Canadian dish actually, a hearty meat pie made from the flippers of young seals, I found it quite tasty."
